FAQs

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing or chemicals.

What's the best way to clean the nubuck?

Use a nubuck cleaner and a soft brush, brushing in the direction of the grain.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?

They are suitable for light running but not designed for high-intensity training. The FuelCell cushioning is good for daily wear and moderate activity.

How do I find the right size?

Check the size chart and consider trying on a pair at a store if possible. Also, consider reading reviews that mention sizing.

What kind of socks should I wear?

You can wear any socks you prefer, but thicker socks may provide a snugger fit.

Can I put the sneakers in the washing machine?

No, washing machines can damage the materials. Clean the sneakers by hand.

Are replacement laces available?

Yes, replacement laces are often available from New Balance or third-party retailers.

Troubleshooting

Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces or wearing thinner socks. Consider the break-in period for the shoe.

Stains on the suede or nubuck.

Use a suede cleaner and a soft brush to gently remove the stain. For tougher stains, consider professional cleaning.

Outsole shows excessive wear.

Avoid wearing them on rough surfaces to prevent wear and tear. If the wear is significant, consider getting the outsole repaired by a professional.

The FuelCell midsole feels less cushioned over time.

Replace the insoles to restore cushioning, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and high heat.
